Then Nisha got pregnant with their first child and called her younger sister… A year and a half after eloping with Amit, Nisha’s parents came down to see her and their newborn.

Something broke, the parents relented towards Nisha but still wouldn’t speak or acknowledge Amit. He never lost hope and didn’t say a single bad word against his reluctant in-laws. The rest of her family continued to boycott Nisha and Amit.

She didn’t care, at least her parents had softened to a certain degree and she was with the man she loved and her child. Two days back – three years after they have been married – Amit received a birthday greeting card in office.

It was from his father-in-law wishing him a successful and happy year ahead. “I have never been this happy, we believed and hoped they would accept us. Eloping is never an easy choice, we all love our parents and I wanted Nisha to be happy, she never complained or blamed me for alienating her from her family. But God has been kind.

That card made my day. I am the happiest of men today,” says Amit, “I hope others who take a step like ours eventually find peace and happiness with their parents too.” We hope so too… Do you agree with what Amit-Nisha did?
